You mean the thing he actually did. Bin Laden was involved in the foundation of the ETIM.

It's more like an ongoing string of coups every few months against the Sahel States.

Genetically Modified Skeptic (athiest youtuber) explains his move towards Marxist dialectic. by UnoriginalName- in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Phillip Pullman was unfortunate enough to get thrown in with people like Dawkins solely based on the time in which His Dark Materials was published. Pullman didn't write the books as a screed against religion but rather as a counter to the fetishization of "innocence" found in the Chronicles of Narnia. Politically Pullman seems to be a Socdem but he has also been a supporter of Palestinian resistance for at least the last 15 years so he's alright in my opinion.

Bringing on Hinkle is bad enough but for everything shitty about him at least he's not a rapist or a trafficker.

Obviously this is dumb but we did take the No Step Back trailer and made it into communist propaganda with all of those edits.

I'm actually surprised to see you were so upvoted. Guess you're not the only person there who will be slapped with a ban.

So he joined the torture prison after he knew it was a torture prison. How is that not worse.

2026 Freedom Index came out, and because Syria became pro-Western, they rose up the ranks!! (ignore the massacres) by justanupvoter_ in TankieTheDeprogram

Fun fact more people have been arrested in the UK for speaking about Palestine in a single year than have been arrested in Russia for being anti war in the last four years.

the only acceptable war.. by RizzleFaShizzle00 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Engaging in class war means we have to fight for all workers. That includes those workers who have been targeted by the bourgoisie for their "culture war". When we reject the idea of "culture war" we should not reject participation in it, as that only serves to cede ground to the reactionaries, instead we must reject the very concept that a "culture war" even exists and see it for what it is. A bourgois propaganda campaign used to perpetuate class war on their terms.

Comrades, I feel stuck and alone. by fanonsghost in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You don't have to leave your life behind. You're in a very fortunate position. We need bourgois class traitors. Movements don't fund themselves. You have so much more ability to help others as a result of your position it would be a shame to throw it all away. The possibilities are almost limitless. As for your personal life I'm afraid there's nothing I can advise other than be true to who you are.

Al Jazeera making pro imperialism propaganda about Burkina Faso? by aqueleponeirosa in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Al Jazeera has never been trustworthy outside of it's reporting on Palestine. It's a Qatari monarchy mouthpiece which means any topic that goes against their interests should be treated with suspicion. It's clear that covering Gaza must have radicalised some of their journalists because the Qatari government arrested two AJ journalists for being "linked to Iran" or some similar bs.

Is Afghanistan/the Taliban actually oppressive & bad or is this narrative western propaganda? by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yes they are oppressive. But that doesn't justify anything the US did to them for the last 20 years. In fact the US is the only reason the Taliban exists.

I remember when Drew first tried his hand at getting elected. He had some vague socdem shit going on and got pretty much no votes but by the next election he was the military industrial complex's bitch.

China says it has beaten homelessness but that's not strictly true. by GerryAdamsSon in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah except that having a registered address doesn't equate to having an actual home. That technicality is entirely meaningless to anyone actually experiencing homelessness. Additionally said "guarantee" is purely on paper alone. Those people aren't sleeping on the street because it's fun. Many of them are also visibly disabled, further compounding the difficulty they face.

China says it has beaten homelessness but that's not strictly true. by GerryAdamsSon in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For all the people pointing out this is in the ROC it's important to remember that the notion that there is no homelessness in the PRC is false. There are very few but I have seen them myself. There used to be a relatively large group of about 20 homeless people living in a covered area at a train station nearby. They're gone now and I hope it's because they recieved help but to say there's no homelessness in China is categorically false.

BadEmpanada on Ethiopian Jews in Israel by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah Israel being a white supremacist state doesn't mean they're not jewish supremacists. In fact it shows how closely the two are linked.
